 "Ram Temple, Ayodhya")
The Adityanath-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttar Pradesh has set the ball rolling to transform Ayodhya into a ‘world class spiritual mega city’ and the ‘biggest divine tourism hub of Asia.’ But this grand initiative makes no mention of a new mosque to be built over five acres of land allocated by the state government in Dhannipur village on the outskirts of Ayodhya.
A close look at the documents being prepared to showcase Ayodhya as a world-class spiritual mega city reveals that the entire plan is centred around the new Ram temple expected to be built on about 108 acres of land by 2023 at the site of the 16th century mosque demolished by Hindutva mobs in 1992.
